The youth group is going on a trip to the state fair. The trip costs $63. Included in that price is $13 for a concert ticket and the cost of 2 passes, one for the rides and one for the game booths. Each of the passes costs the same price. Write an equation representing the cost of the trip, and determine the price of one pass. Solve your equation by showing your work and steps.

 

I have figured out that each ticket cost 25.00 I just dont know how to write the equation!

Please help me learn how to write the equation as soon as you can!!!!

OK....let's look at the cost for one person...

We have the total cost = $63   .....this includes a $13 concert ticket plus the cost of two passes, each of which cost the same.

Call the cost of one of the passes, P.   So we have

63 =  13 + 2P  subtract 13 from both sides

50 = 2P          divide both sides by 2

25 = P 

So the cost of one pass = $25
